    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[2008 Global Crisis, The Case Struggle Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this survey, how Turkey overcame the 2008 crisis was studied using 2002:1-2011:12  period data through co-integration test. Within the scope of Empiric analysis, the influence of selected macroeconomic variables such as Economical growth, ISE, unemployment, export,  agriculture, foreign currency rate-USD and supply of Money were studied through two-stage  Engle-Granger co-integration method.  As a result of co-integration test, in the long run, export policies, IMKB, agriculture and  foreign currency policies practiced have positive contribution to economic growth; therefore,  Turkey has been successful in the struggle against economic crisis. Money supply policies  had negative effect on economic growth and the recent economic crisis affected the growth of  Turkish economy in a negative way. In the short term, export and agriculture had a positive  effect on the growth of Turkish economy but global economic crisis had a negative effect.  Keywords: 2008 Global economic crisis, struggle, Turkey, co-integration.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Critique On The Consistency Ratios Of Some Selected Articles Regarding Fuzzy Ahp  And Sustainability]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Consistency ratio (CR) is a very important indicator for achieving the reliability of an  individual’s pairwise comparisons in Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Although the  applications of fuzzy AHP need this kind of CR results as well, only a few of studies include  these results. The most accepted method to calculate CR for fuzzy pairwise comparison  matrices (PCMs) is to transform fuzzy numbers to crisp versions and to proceed as in the  ordinary CR calculations of AHP. Triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs) are usually used to  present linguistic terms of an individual’s pairwise comparisons. In this research, CRs of 242  PCMs presented with TFNs, found in 39 articles, have been calculated based on four widely  used defuzzification methods. The aim of this research is to find out if the PCMs of some  available articles regarding sustainability issues in literature are reliable. After CR  calculations of those PCMs, it has been found that some of them are reliable while many  others are not. After reviewing these findings, researchers in fuzzy AHP field are expected to  give much attention to those CR issues and try to obtain PCMs that are more reliable.Keywords: fuzzy AHP, consistency ratio, sustainability, defuzzification, fuzzy numbers]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Islamic Finance as a Means of Shaping the Future of Sustainable Finance]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The recent financial crises have proven that the major social impact of the activities of the  most major commercial and investment banks is through improper management of  transaction, portfolio and reputational risks. Although they and their key stakeholders agree  that financiers bear significant responsibility for the environmental and social impacts of the  operations they finance, they do not go beyond the recognition of environmental and social  responsibilities driven to a large degree by outside pressures of environmental organizations  such as Friends of the Earth (FoE) and the Rainforest Action Network (RAN). They  challenged the industry with high-profile campaigns that highlighted cases in which  commercial banks were “bankrolling disasters”. In 2002, a global coalition of nongovernmental  organizations (NGOs) including FoE, RAN, WWF-UK and the Berne  Declaration came together to promote sustainable finance in the commercial sector. This  informal network subsequently evolved into BankTrack, whose vision for a sustainable  finance sector was expressed in the Collevecchio Declaration of January 2003.  In this paper we will put forward the main agent in improper management of transaction,  portfolio and reputational risks of commercial banks, the interest rate. No economic system  can sustain its health and vigor or contribute positively to the achievement of its socioeconomic  goals without the support of sane and equitable money and banking system. The  money and banking system should hence be reformed to eschew the excesses and imbalances  which promote inequalities, conspicuous consumption, and unhealthy monetary expansion to  the ultimate detriment of all.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Lean Way Of Valuing Inventory]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[American manufacturers which are choosing are lean principles as their basic business model,  increasingly looking to lean thinking to improve productivity, reduce costs, enhance  flexibility, create better value for their customers, and raise profits, cash flow, and stock price.  The basic principles of lean thinking are based some solid factors namely profits are earned  by selling products; value streams deliver customer satisfaction; nonfinancial operational data  helps line workers manage business processes; real-time data is needed to enable process  improvement; idle time is okay if there are no customer orders to fill at the moment; the goal  of world-class organizations is to improve actual performance at a faster rate than  competitors; front-line employees are an asset that should be cross-trained and highly skilled.  Moreover, the cardinal rule of lean management is eliminating all unnecessary steps that  create waste. In this context, lean accounting seeks to reduce steps in transaction processing,  eliminate standard costs in favor of actual costs, and discontinue cost allocations. The  traditional mass production companies which are typically advocators of standard costing see  inventory as the largest current asset on traditional manufacturer s balance sheet and naturally,  a traditional manufacturer use their inventory asset for collateral for bank lines of credit.  Thus, lot of cash is tied up in the inventory.  The traditional manufacturer inventory valuation is not based on an actual cost system. For  instance, a company with inventory turns of 3.00 has four months of inventory on hand,  which means it must use the actual production cost system for the last four months to value  inventory. This absolutely obviates to maintain an actual cost system. On the other hand, lean  companies aim to eliminate work in process and finished goods inventory with high inventory  turns. A shrinking inventory value on a balance sheet based on real time cost information  which in turn becomes a smaller percentage of total current assets is a typically way of doing  for lean companies.  This study illustrates the actual cost calculations for inventory valuation. The study will  explain “the number of days method and unit quantity method” and highlight their differences  between the traditional inventory valuation methods.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Effect of Exchange Rate Volatility on Import Demand: Evidence from Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Since 2001 financial crisis, Turkey has adopted fluctuating exchange rate regime in order to  make the economy stronger against external shocks. This has lead to a high volatility of  Turkish lira against to foreign currencies. Therefore, it became essential for policy makers to  evaluate the potential effects of exchange rate volatility on international trade. The purpose of  this study is to provide new evidence on the effects of exchange rate volatility on the import demand of Turkey along with income and price elasticities. Our data cover the period 2010:01  to 2010:05. We, initially, employed a GARCH model to evaluate exchange rate volatility one  of the independent variables that estimate real import. The study also includes conventional  determinants such as relative price level of imports and real GDP. Afterwards, our paper  investigates long-run and short-run relationship between real imports and its determinants by  using ARDL error correction model. The empirical results indicate that real exchange rate  volatility of local currency has significant and reverse effect on import demand.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) is an evergreen shrub which belongs to the Lauraceae family. It  grows naturally along the entire coastal line of Turkey up to altitude of 1200 m. Laurel has  been regarded as an important medicinal and aromatic plant for years in the Mediterranean  Basin. Meantime, it is also often used as an ornamental plant in parks and gardens because it  is very much suitable to pruning and to give the desired forms. Turkey provides about 97% of  the world’s laurel leaf need. It is one of the top five plants collected from nature and exported  from Turkey. However, there are some serious problems about the production system of  laurel. Laurel production is done in conventional methods by local people. These areas are  under threat due to overgrazing and uncontrolled collection. Ultimately, laurel growing areas  have been exploited. In recent years, the researches related to sustainable use of laurel have  increased. In this study it was investigated the researches conducted to sustainable use of  laurel in Sırtkoy, Manavgat district and some other districts of Antalya. The aim of these  studies was to develop an inventory method and to prepare management plans to be used by  forest service and regional people. The cut shoots and leaves of laurel should be controlled  and they should not be cut from the same locations every year. The rotation must be strictly  applied in every 3 or 4 years intervals. Leaf collections should be done by experienced people  in right period of the years and the leaves should be dried in a proper way.  Keywords: Laurel, leaf, sustainability]]></dcterms:abstract>
